Transportation for School Year 2022 - 2023
The Office of Transportation is hard at work on the bus schedule for the 2022-23 school year, and we need your help to make certain that we have the buses and drivers needed to get everyone to and from school safely and on time.
Your child(ren)’s bus information lives inside ParentVUE, which houses bus stop location, bus times and bus number. If you have not activated your ParentVUE account, instructions are available here. Specific instructions on registering for transportation within ParentVUE are available here.
Beginning tomorrow, Friday, May 13, we ask that you let us know of your transportation needs and confirm or update the information in your account. Please complete this request as soon as possible, but no later than June 30. As of July 1, the information in ParentVUE will be locked so bus routes and schedules can be planned for the new year. If you do not register for transportation, there will be no bus service for your family.
If you have questions about the information in ParentVUE, please contact the school where your child is enrolled.
